Limited Government Is

First let’s dispense with the lunatic notion expressed by not only the far Left but, also ostensible conservative Speaker of the House Paul Ryan—makes one wonder which side Ryan is on–that ‘there is no religious test for refugees to enter the USA. There most certainly is such a test and it has been aptly identified and explained by many in the past and applies to both Asylum and Refugee status.

First and foremost, under US law there is no inherent “right” for anyone except a US citizen to enter the USA, irrespective of his, her or their circumstances. Second, an individual’s religion is part and parcel to the process of entry into the United States of America. Under 8 U.S. Code § 1158 – Asylum, (b) Conditions for granting asylum (B) Burden of proof (i) In general…

The burden of proof is on the applicant to establish that the applicant is a refugee, within the meaning of section 1101(a)(42)(A) of this title. To establish that the applicant is a refugee within the meaning of such section, the applicant must establish that race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion was or will be at least one central reason for persecuting the applicant.

Allegedly scheming to import massive numbers of Muslims from Syria is only the beginning of the treachery GOP insiders may have in store for the regular Americans they despise and betray while pretending to represent. Ben Carson isn’t liking the rat he smells:

Ben Carson on Friday blasted the Republican National Committee following a Washington Post report that nearly two-dozen establishment party figures were prepping for a potential brokered convention as Donald Trump continues to lead most polls.

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus held a dinner in Washington, D.C., on Monday, and, according to five people who spoke with the Post, the possibility of Trump heading into the Cleveland convention with a substantial number of delegates was a topic of discussion. Some attendees suggested the establishment lay the groundwork for a floor fight that could lead the party’s mainstream [i.e., liberal; this if from Politico] wing to unite behind an alternative. Carson rejected this approach.

“If the leaders of the Republican Party want to destroy the party, they should continue to hold meetings like the one described in the Washington Post this morning,” Carson said in a statement released by his campaign.

Carson said he prays the Post’s report is incorrect and threatened to leave the GOP. “If it is correct, every voter who is standing for change must know they are being betrayed. I won’t stand for it,” said Carson, who added that if the plot is accurate, “I assure you Donald Trump won’t be the only one leaving the party.”

The McCain and Romney campaigns of 2008 and 2012 are evidence that the GOP establishment is willing to lose elections even to the most appalling Democrat candidates rather than stand for conservative values. Soon we may see if it is willing to scuttle the whole ship rather than let Trump take the wheel. If he is chosen by the voters and the Republican Party runs someone else anyway, by 2020 another party will emerge to replace it.
